I have been thinking about doing this pairing for quite some time and this is another of my list of oneshots and drabbles. I am open to requests and suggestions for future plots and scenarios. The lengths of the various chapters may vary as I am usually not good at writing long chapters. Also for these stories consider Link older than he usually is, in his early 20s.

The Smash Mansion the home of the Super Smash Brothers tournament, a fighting competition featuring those from different worlds and galaxies. Link the Hero of Hyrule was glad to see Fox, Falco, Pikachu, Captain Falcon, Ness, Mario and other return and he was glad that Sonic the young super fast hedgehog (who had been a newcomer in the last tournament) had come back as well. Though it seemed that Solid Snake would not be returning, he greeted newcomers such as the Wii Fit Trainer, Lana who he of course knew and Ryu.

But one person he was glad to return was Samus Aran, the heroic space bounty hunter who he always seemed to get along with. It did not seem likely due to how different they were. Link used melee weapons to fight in a fantasy land and Samus travelled various planet fighting aliens using blaster weapons. Yet they were still similar, they were silent and kept to themselves and they both fought for what was right.

Link decided to take a visit to Samus in her room; she sat on her bed in her blue Zero Suit playing on the Super Nintendo there. Each room had various consoles so in their free time combatants could play the various games that they had appeared in. "Link, come and sit here." Samus told the green clad warrior putting her hand on the spot next to her on the bed. Link went and took the spot next to her and saw that she was playing Super Metroid which of course starred her.

Link watched as she played the game fighting the various Metroid monsters that were on the screen, she of course died some times and got lost at points ("embarrassing, as I have experienced this myself" as Samus had told him). After some time Samus faced Link offering him the control and asked "do you want to have a go Link, see how well you do playing as me?" Samus asked as Link gave her a smile accepting the controller.

Link did not seem too bad but could not help but get lost and having died more times than Samus did. "Kind of fun, prefer the ball games that I have played with the fellow villagers when I was a child back in Hyrule." Link told her and Samus sighed a little remembering how her own childhood had ended. Link noticed this and put a comforting hand on her shoulder making her smile as he continued playing.

Soon enough Link had beaten one of the bosses at the game and his fingers were getting a bit tired so he told Samus that he had enough for that time so Samus put it away. "Anything happen to you lately Samus?" Link asked and Samus shook her head as it had been a while before any of the two had any matches in the tournament. "Well the other day I had a crazy cartoonish vision, involved me, Princess Zelda, the king of Hyrule and Ganondorf which was really weird." Link admitted making Samus laugh a bit.

"Well I had a little daydream of my own yesterday, it involved me not acting like myself and my old mentor Adam acting like a jerk." Samus told him to which Link gave a little laugh to as well. The two usually silent blonde haired fighters smiled at eachother but both blushed a little when they saw their hands were close to touching.

Then came rushing in was Luigi, "Sorry for bursting in like that Samus and hi Link." Luigi said noticing the both of them as their attention went to Luigi. "The reason why I am here is because that outside Captain Falcon has challenged Sonic to a race to see which the faster of them are. Do you both want to come?" Luigi asked and both of them looked at eachother.

"Falcon is too overconfident for his own good, he may be fast in his vehicle but I really doubt he could outrun Sonic, I am all for watching him get embarrassed." Samus told Luigi and Link noticed, both of them had managed to become friends with Sonic the last time the competition was held as well as Mario and his friends who apparently compete against Sonic and his friends in Olympic games.

Samus and Link both followed Luigi to watch this race but both thinking of how they could spend their time with eachother later. After all they managed to be pretty close despite their differences and who knows about them becoming closer...
